Variable Structure Control of Partially Linearizable Dynamics

It is shown how the theory of decoupling and partial linearization of nonlinear affine systems can enhace the design of variable structure control systems for such systems. Refined insights into the design of nonlinear switching surfaces and a new regular form are obtained.
